Christine T was a wonderful guide - full of interesting information and insights! She knew so much about history! Geza was a great driver! It was a great way to see this beautiful city!
Our hotel recommended this tour. We did four hours in the Castle Hill area. Christine Teplain was our guide. She was wonderful. She was very knowledgeable and steeped in Hungarian history. She was lovely to walk around with and adapted well to our family. We would highly recommend!
We had a wonderful experience on our 3-hour tour of the city. Our guide, Christine Templán, was mindful to ask at the start what we had already seen in order to maximize our experience. She was not only incredibly knowledagble (formally educated in history) but had a sweet and kind personality that added to the pleasantness of our experience. Our guide was accompanied by Laszlo as our driver who was courteous and helpful.
It was an amazing tour with Christine Teplaz as our guise and Peter as the driver. They were very nice and detailed oriented. We had a really good tour and everything was well explained. They were having the best attitude and were very kind. Also the historic information all of the tour was very well explained.
Christine Teplan was our guide and Laszlo was our driver. Both of them were absolutely fantastic. Christine explained the history of Budapest and Hungry. It was just so interesting. Laszlo was a great driver. His car was immaculate and he was so helpful.would highly recommend both for va tour!
I am 82 and have had many guides in many places. My first was as a grandson w grandmother in Europe in 1955. My wife have had guides for almost 30 years all over. Our private tour in Budapest with a Viatour guide was by far the very best travel experience we have ever enjoyed. He confessed that he was a "history nut" and he proved it over 8 hours. Truly professional. No end of fascinating details about your long history...the tribes, the heroes, the villains, the architectural and art styles. No question unanswered. Oh, we had already had an a one and a half day tour through Abercrombie and Kent. Your guide was greatly superior in every way. It was truly a memorable experience. We vowed to return. We loved Budapest thanks to him.
We gave our Guide Christina a list of all the places that we wanted to see and because of Christina's planning and our great Driver who was able to drop us off and pick us so quickly we were able to see more than we asked for. This tour couldn't have gone any better than it did. Thank you Both.
Cristine TTeplan and Laszlo were great tour guides. Everything was awesome and excellent. We had an awesome experience and they treated us well.
Christine Teplah / Laszlo was exceptional. She had such a depth of knowledge and history of not only Budapest but Hungary in general. She has a true passion for history… I highly recommend her! She was a joy and provided the most wonderful day for our group. The sites were wonderful!! All in all a most wonderful day. Thank you Christine.
Christine Teylan and her driver, Adam provided a very informative, safe and enjoyable tour van driving and walking tour within the centre of Buda and Pest and and outside Budapest. She impressed our 10 member group with her deep knowledge of Hungarian history and culture. Most enjoyable. We would definitely recommend using her services for a 4 to 5 hour session. Cam MacNeish, Toronto, Canada.
We did a private four hour tour with Christine Teylah and our driver Lazlo. Christine listened to what we wanted to see and provided us with a tour personalized to our interests. She is extremely knowledgeable, personable and a pleasure to be with. She was very attentive to our needs. Our driver Lazlo provided a comfortable ride in his Mercedes van and was available at each stop to whisk us away to the next. I highly recommend them to anyone else coming to Budapest
We had a great time and our tour guide Christine Teplal and our driver Laslow showed us the highlights of Budapest. Christine is so knowledgeable and so accommodating. She offered to take most of our photos too. I highly recommend this to all tourist. They’re professional and on time in picking us up at our hotel.
Christine T and Laszlo were amazing tourguides and hosts. They treated my family so well, even after our booking.com apartment changed our location last second, they were able to pick us up at a new location and accommodated everything we asked for. Would highly recommend!
Christine was terrific, loved the stop at the library. Time well spent all day. It requires me here to keep adding more words than I neeed
We had an amazing day and half with Krisztina Teplen! She has a wealth of knowledge about Hungary and she is a delightful person. We did a one day walking tour and a half day Jewish history tour. Highly recommend Kristina!
Thorough and interesting tour. Zoltan was a friendly and enjoyable guide. Highly recommend the tour to get to know the city.
The guide Steven was very informative and patient. He was friendly. Only thing we would have like to cover was the parliament building and the inside. But it was not part of the tour. Otherwise everything was great. I would suggest adding the parliament .
We had a really wonderful and informative afternoon with Christine Teplan and Laszlo, our wonderful, professional and polite driver. I learned so much about this beautiful city including some interesting facts about the rich history. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking to really get to know the city. The nice luxury van was a great touch.
Zoltan was an incredible guide.....so much information, so many different places, delicious food/restaurant choices and he really made us fall in love with Budapest. His driver, Lazlo, was very professional and got us everywhere safely! We really went everywhere in Buda and Pest, very immersed. We loved it! I would definitely recommend Zoltan and this tour.
Christine and La’szlo made for a perfect day in Budapest. Our family loved the history, personal stories, and the time together in this must see city. Pick up a chimney cake or two along the way.
Christine was our guide on a six hour whirlwind luxury van tour of Budapest for my wife and I, two of my wife’s siblings and their spouses. Christine was deeply knowledgeable about the history of the city, its arts and architecture. We hit all the highlights we wanted to - Mattias Church, St. Stephen’s Basilica, the Grand Synagogue, the Opera House and the view of Buda from the hills of Pest. We were fortunate enough during our tour to enjoy a brief recital at the Opera House, with beautiful arias from Madama Butterfly and other classic works. Fabulous insights from Christine and Laszlo, our driver, dropped us off for brief walks at each of our stops, and picked us up immediately at convenient stops. Great way to see the best of Budapest in a day.
Very friendly and knowledgeable guide who could answer all our questions. Helpful in every aspect with friendly driver as well
Excellent and well thought out tour! The tour combines driving and walking to many of Budapest’s most significant and historical landmarks, buildings and museums. Our guide, Christine, added an insightful, in-depth and detailed historical context to each of our stops along the way . Dzgii, our driver navigated us safely through the busy streets of this beautiful city. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in learning more about Budapests rich history and heritage.
Christine and Steven were amazing! Christine had so much information every corner we looked at! Highly recommend booking this tour! It was personal and private and definitely the way to go!
Christine and Lazslo were both phenomenal! They gave us a great experience and are both so kind. I would recommend them to anyone wanting an amazing experience of the city.
Would highly recommend this tour. Christina took our group of 10 all over Buda and Pest on this 8 hour day. We walked a good amount and were in and out of the comfortable van throughout the day. Each place we visited, Christina gave us a thorough explanation of it’s significance and the history behind it. She is a highly knowledgeable tour guide with a strong historical passion. We enjoyed her enthusiasm and all her information! Thanks for the great day!
Zoltan was our guide and driver and I highly recommend it - we diverted a number of times when we just found something interesting. He knew about all those too. The car was a perfect Mercedes - quiet, spacious just like you would expect. Zoltan was even there early to pick us up from our hotel.
If you ever go to Budapest, consider using Christine, a private tour guide with Sweet Travel Private Tours, to show you the city. Our family spent a day with Christina visiting dozens of the city’s major attractions. Whether we were overlooking the Danube river from the Garden of Philosophers, visiting the Dohany Street synagogue, or stopping by the Szechenyi Bath, Christina provided us with detailed background information about every place we visited. Her extensive knowledge about the history of Budapest, combined with her understanding of architectural design, helped our family learn about the culture and people of Hungary. In addition, Christina possesses an enthusiastic, expressive, and sincere personality. All these attributes are qualities that make a private tour guide invaluable. Thank you, Christine, for an informative and enjoyable day. The Galante family
excellent city tour with Stephen the tall man, he lead me to the hero's square and told me the history. He lead me to Gellert-hegy to show me the general view of Budapest. He lead me to Országház to show me the policy of the country. He also show me some castles and told me stories of vampires. It was very good experience traveling with Stephen.
Christine and Laszlo were lovely. Christine is extremely knowledgeable, kind, and took us to many places despite the rainy weather. The Matthias Church tour was a highlight. We enjoyed our tour very much and would recommend it highly.
We were picked up right on time and whisked away to Delphi. Our driver did a great job getting us there and orienting us before we went off on our own at the Delphi site and museum. Afterward we opted for the included lunch which was delicious in a restaurant with an incredible view. And then safely back to our hotel.
Christine was an excellent and very accomodating tour guide. Her deep knowledge of history has enriched our experience even more as she is able to put context into the statues, monuments, and buildings that we went to. It was overall a very efficient tour as I felt we’ve covered all the Budapest essentials in just a day. Peter was also an excellent driver. He is always on time and picks us up at the most convenient locations.
Took us all over the City. Bridges, palaces, many major sights. Budapest is a very beautiful city. We are elderly and it was a full day tour. We could hardly make it 6 hrs. and had to call it quits because of my husbands ability to handle the walking. Wish we would have done this when we were a little younger. We truly enjoyed the tour.
Very professional from our knowledgeable guide to our superb driver and vehicle. We were two couples with limited knowledge of Budapest. Gabor was able to impart his knowledge of the city and general history with ease. He reformulated our plan as the day unfolded and as our curiosity grew for certain aspects. Highly recommended.
Our driver was Iuve and our guide was Christine. We spent six hours exploring the beautiful city of Budapest. History, culture, the arts, entertainment - Christine made sure that we experienced as much as possible while structuring our day to maximize our time. Meanwhile, Iuve kept us safely and efficiently on schedule. We were throughly impressed by Christine’s breadth of knowledge, as well as her love and passion for her heritage. We asked for a “fun, casual lunch” mid day, and Christine took us to an extraordinary indoor/outdoor marketplace that was tourist heaven. This tour was very worth the price, and we finished our day with our minds full of information and our phones filled with magnificent photos.
I booked a 4 hour private tour of Budapest with a Mercedes Van since there were four of us (two couples). We had an awesome day touring around Budapest. Our guide showcased what the city had preserved, the very rich culture and what it can offer to visitors. If you've never been to Budapest or Hungry before then I highly recommend Sweet Travel private tours.
We had an awesome day touring around the Budapest with Gabor or Gab. He was very pleasant and informative. We think of him as very professional. It was a superb experience to have travelled this far to Budapest and get to have historical information about the city. He showed us most of the wonderful nook and cranny part of Buda and Pest which some of the tourist might failed to do if they only rely on blogs or other social platforms. Gab had showcased what the city had preserved, the very rich culture and what it can offer to tourist like us, for example the best food which local Hungarians eat in their day to day life. If people or travellers or tourist get the chance of visiting Hungary then we highly recommend Sweet Travel private tours with Gab. He is the best and simply amazing! Thank you so much!
Our hotel recommended we use sweet tour and we were highly impressed. Our guide Balaj is extremely professional and knowledgeable with over 14 years in the business. The car used is super comfortable and clean. We did 2 tours over 2 days. The first of Budapest and second of the wine country.
We booked a 4 hour private tour of Budapest with a Mercedes Van since there were four of us. Our guide Christine was wonderful. Her knowledge of the history of the area was amazing. She took us to all the sites that she thought were important and it was a great tour. She made it so pleasant and educational! I would highly recommend Christine!
Gabrielle gave us a spectacular 6-hour tour of Budapest. We had a car and walking tour which I highly recommend for any future traveler because Budapest is really spread out and it is very difficult to get around to see all the major sites by walking. We also believe 6 hours was the right amount of time. But be careful because if you go in the busy season there is a could be a lot of traffic which could impact how much of the city you can see.
Without doubt Budapest is a gem to be explored in Eastern Europe. We had booked a private tour for the day to discover all the historic and important sites of the Budapest. Arriving promptly on time, we were warmly welcomed by Eva and her driver that made us feel very welcomed and with such a friendly atmosphere we had a fantastic start! Eva is the best story-teller with a wealth of knowledge about the history of world. The tour was extremely well-planned and was flexible at the same time, which allowed us to be on our own schedule and for that she deserves a special thanks. Eva is a warm personality and highly motivated guide. She made sure we all had her attention when there was an important moment in history to be noted or discussed. The long walks and endless hours of driving around town felt very comfortable as She kept us all very engaged in the conversations of historical facts. All respect to Eva who does an amazing job there as a tour guide and a great companion ! Many thanks again and we highly recommend this tour to everyone!
Christine gave us the Budapest tour which was fantastic. She really knows her history. Was a day well spent in Budapest. Thank You Christine
Great day our driver was awesome so very knowledgeable. Drove us everywhere we ask, took us to a great restaurant for lunch where I enjoyed the most delicious foie gras ever. All in all a great day.
Christine was a very informative guide & answered all of our questions. Labzlo was always on time to pick us up & a good driver..they both were very professional, kind & fun!
Christine our tour guide made sure we immersed ourselves in Budapest on our full day tour. We started at 9a at our request and then she asked us if we had any special interests. With Steven, our driver, she took us to Buda and then to Pest. She spent the whole time teaching us about a city that she obviously loves. This tour allowed us to see all of the main sites of Budapest and decide where we wanted to go more in depth later. We did not go into the Parliament building but did explore Buda Castle and the basilica. My suggestion is to pair this with a evening dinner cruise to see the city in a different way under the lights. This tour allowed us to save hours of walking with a very efficient way across town while getting a history lesson between every stop.
Our tour guide was Kristina, she was very knowledgeable and passionate about Budapest. We got to see many things on the tour, it is a little tiring, but if you are limited for time, the tour is excellent. Kristina was very engaging and kept us interested throughout the tour. I would highly recommend her.
We had 5 days in Budapest and arranged Sweet Travel for airport transfers and a 4 hour private tour. They are a highly professional and excellent team. Prompt, very clean and professional drivers. You cannot go wrong using them. They drove Mercedes vehicles. I highly recommend their services in Budapest and would use them again.
Our family of 4 including 2 teen age boys were picked up by Adam(driver) and Kristine. We had a fantastic day, on our private tour of Budapest! We got to see so many sites with great history and information. Would highly recommend this tour as it was one of our favorite on our European trip. Thanks Kristine, you were awesome!
Adam our driver(beautiful and spotless van) and Christine provided our family a great day tour of Budapest! Christine's english was easy to understand and was full of historical information, making this tour the best! We only had 3 days in Budapest and taking this tour allowed us to see all the highlights of the city, in a short amount of time. A great day we will always remember, thanks!
